Prominent note of beeswax for the life of the fragrance which is pleasant. Does smell like an old school barber shop green scent with a twist that makes it pretty unisex. Both longevity and projection are good not great and the scent does develop nicely. Sad it is discontinued.

One of THE LAST T.F P.B frags I’m looking to add M.B to my collection along with Black Violet, Bois Rouge, Lavender Palm & Japon Noir and a few others. If ANYONE ANYONE ANYONE at all out there has a 50/100ml bottle for sale without me having to give up my home and vehicle, then kindly just PM me for a safe, secure and professional transaction…. Cheers!
UPDATE: September 2017: I almost almost picked-up a 50ml bottle through a Fellow Fragrantica member, but sadly he/she blew up when they asked for my offer and I gave it….. If you have a bottle, please don’t waste time and just give me your ROCK BOTTOM price, so no one gets offended… I’m determined to complete my T.F Private Blend collection…

Like I’m Robin Hood in Knottingham forest!!! I just received a decant of this as I had asked for one not knowing the Cult love. I guess I was lucky to have found it which makes wearing it even harder. Not because of its versatility or anything like that, only because one day I fear I’ll run out! Beautiful green mossy cedar here. Still testing with the few sprays that I could talk myself into applying. So far a masterpiece! Much love and let your light shine!

Luscious green. Wandering through the forest. Damp, mossy earth beneath my feet. I close my eyes and take in the serene surroundings of this forest paradise. The sweet smell of beeswax permeating the air for some reason. 12 hours of this bliss.

Reviewer ‘oBenno’, I couldn’t say it better myself. MB is a unique masterpiece by Tom Ford coming in a 2nd from Original formulation Oud Wood in my list of Private Blend favourites, it’s rarity really a worry now with very little left on the planet. Moss Breches is a strong cardamom, male focused fragrance but I’m female and do occasionally enjoy wearing it just for my own pleasure, esp when all the florals in my collection have become a bore. I also just love to ‘sniff’ my decant.
Projection is excellent, along with longevity . The master has excelled once again! Precious and rare drops indeed.

It’s lack of popularity astounds me… This is absolutely fantastic and incredibly unique. After vintage Oud Wood it’s the best private blend.
One spray and you’re surrounded by a mystical cloud of honey and spices that is nothing short of intoxicating. For some reason this was a flop and got discontinued shortly after its release… I simply cannot fathom why, everyone that smells it is intrigued and wants some for themselves.
The strength of this is unlike anything i’ve ever encountered. One spray to the neck and that shirt will forever have moss breches lingering in its fibres. I can wash it, spray something else over it, yet will still smell that beautiful beeswax coming out months later.
All the best private blends have been discontinued or reformulated.
After Tom Ford stunned the fragrance community with an arsenal of masterpieces in 2007, we are now expected to be pleased with the ‘fresh’ and synthetic rubbish they are releasing in 2016.. I’m sorry but it simply isn’t good enough.
Mr Ford, if you bring back the magic I will forever be your loyal servant and promise never to wear anything other than your creations.

I was happy to finally get a sample of this discontinued private blend, Tom Ford Moss Breches. It’s classic and agreeable in the way of a classic men’s fougere or fresh spicy option, ala Tom Ford for Men, Ralph Lauren Safari, or Chanel Pour Monsieur (the concentree or EDP versions, especially). Its spiciness harkens back to a time of colognes fit more for one’s father, grandfather, etc.
I get the resins and herbs, but the note listing seems incomplete. I get some citrus, and perhaps even some oakmoss. So it’s a bit of a mystery to me overall, but certainly the aura is strong, and the connotation and almost memory of scents or situations past. The name might be misleading, as this doesn’t strike me as mossy, or swampy–slightly earthy perhaps.
Performance is excellent, strong on both projection and longevity, akin to most of the heavier Tom Ford Private Blends.

The first thing I thought was “wow, this is different”
a bit weird after i sprayed, it turn into something really nice and different from all the other mass products.
Anatolich1983 – :
Rich and aftershave-y, this smashes a traditional chypre into a snazzy fougere. The problem is that both are rendered a bit cartoonish, lacking the sophistication usually found within either style. Moss Breches is bombastic; a blaring, shouty kind of a fragrance that’s supercharged by a honeyed moss, a soft sage-y lavender, and a smattering of earthy, stemmy things. The textbook chypre-effect dominates but lacks refinement, and the end result is an amiable yet gaudy car crash of Mitsouko and Invasion Barbare. It’s enjoyable for the first hour, but it borders on pantomime soon after.

بسیار خوشبو وکلاسیک
وقتی اسپری میکنید یک بوی صابونی به مشام میرسه و با گذر زمان بوی عسل یا موم عسل به وضوح قابل احساسه و یک بوی صابونی شیرین درست میکنه ورفته رفته به شیرینیش افزوده میشه
برای بنده تداعی کننده بوهای کلاسیک بود ولی بسیار لذت بخش
پخش بو و موندگاریشم خوبه

Legendary smell, great longevity and sillage. Creamy and spicy, extremely unisex. And I’m so proud to say that Moss Breches is my signature.
mehwaror – :
Mid. Heart of the MossBreches is like T.Mugler pure havane!strange!but attractive,wanna smell regularly.
il87djek – :
It’s good but not enough. The opening is classical chypre, then the base lacks character, quite monotonous.

I bought the entire Private Collection and I like this one alot. Its not your..everyday “go to” sort of fragrance, it just has a special scent about it. It seems so natural and leafy. I love the beeswax and benzoin so this one was a winner for me from the start. I could probably see my dad wearing something like this though. Interesting.
abisconsigo – :
I just noticed this at Nordies, and sprayed some on my wrist to see how it would wear. IMO, this is a man’s scent, and if I smelled a man wearing it I think I would swoon.
This fragrance features the cedar note, which is very crisp and sharp. It also has my favorite Benzoin and Patchouli, but i can’t detect these very well.
IMO, if Cedar is the note you are shopping for, and you are a woman, I would suggest Guerlain’s Boise Torride, which is more feminine friendly

A little and mildly boring green herby affair with folk undertones of rosemary and other leafy creatures with a certain sweetnes attribute i guess to beeswax.I hated it when i first tested it cause was a Tom Ford without character, but i suppose i can think a lot of men would love to wear it when they want to fell free and outdoorsy. And hey it smells ok although as i said before i find it boring.
